Toymaker Hasbro (HAS) is seeing its stock fall, however, down 3% after these comments by CEO Brian Goldner:

We had a number of strong product initiatives, but consumer demand through much of the holiday season was less than anticipated in both the U.S. and certain international markets. As a result, fourth quarter revenues did not meet our expectations. Despite the lower than anticipated revenue, we grew our operating profit margin and earnings per share absent fourth quarter restructuring charges and the impact of foreign exchange.

Shares of Procter & Gamble (PG) are up more than 2%, after its fiscal second quarter results beat consensus estimates and it said most of its business units increased market share. The consumer-products maker also raised its fiscal 2013 core earnings estimate, and upped guidance for stock repurchases.

Oshkosh (OSK) stock is surging, up about 15% after its fiscal first-quarter results handily beat estimates and also raised its full-year guidance. Also rising are shares of Covidien (COV), up nearly 3.5% after it said fiscal first-quarter sales rose 5.5% and it raised its sales estimates for 2013.
